Who Am I

Who am I?
Question indeed!

  W-eaned from tender 
age,in noble family of ten.
  H-urt by the demise of 
the tube that brought 
me into this theater of 
struggles and pains.
  O-rdered about by the 
whimps of this 
world,facing the hurdles 
of life daily from 
cradle,never giving up 
hope.
  
  A-fine young man of 28 
I am,who has the 
experience and wisdom 
of the aged.
  M-astering the arts of 
life-learning from lessons 
of life's victims and 
didactic poems 'cos man 
of fame I intend to be for 
I bear the name Bob.

  I-lost my poetic gift at a 
stage but recovered it in 
poetrysoup for invisible 
entities say a 
lesser being I shall be,but 
another encourages me 
to move on,for great is 
one who comes out of 
the shackles of life 
undeterred for this is who 
I am.

what a fine way to state who you are and what you think your destiny will be. This is a positive way of seeing yourself and looking forward to growth. I can't imagine your struggles but keep up your faith.

Dear Ifeanyi. I read a number of your poems and I’m very inspired by your works. I wish to propose business to you, which I proposed to a number of other poets on this website but without success. I am a South African Author and Publisher. My company is Déjà Vu Divine Arts (Pty) Ltd, Publishers.
